Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Diet Citrus Soda scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Artificial Sweeteners (Aspartame): Synthetic sweeteners are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Yellow 5): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Other Additives (Caffeine): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
- Stabilizers & Gums (Acacia Gum, Ester Gum): Industrial stabilizers common in UPF.
Within Soda, this product is more processed than about 64% of the 6,804 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
